Keldrin_1 writes "Almost everyone has, at one point or another, come up against a deadline that they just were not able to meet. A new website has arisen that promises to solve the problem by providing you with a 'completed project' that has mysteriously been corrupted over email and now can not be opened. Corrupted-files.com offers to cure all your homework and deadline woes for the low fee of $3.95 (soon to be $5.95). From the site:
'Who's to say your 5 sheet Excel file didn't get corrupted? Exactly! No one can! It's the perfect excuse to buy yourself extra time and not hand in a garbage project. Plagiarism is not the answer to procrastination. — Corrupted-Files.com is!'

Any time my college roommate had an assignment that he didn't feel like doing on time, he would open up his hex editor and remove a few lines.
I'm just jealous because I didn't think of this first. This guy has a fraction of the overhead of a lot of web based companies and sells a service that literally anyone can do.
This is like paying someone to pump your gas for you, in New Jersey, no less!

/me wonders if they strip all the identifying data out of the office files.
I can just see the first kid who has a teacher open the corrupted file anyways, find the metadata, and bust the little bugger for turning in something he didn't create.
